It's a little unclear which day is National Frozen Yogurt Day, but several places are offering free yogurt as promotions this week. (Getty Images)

Who knew National Frozen Yogurt Day was this week?

That’s a big deal for 6-year-olds who love getting the ice-cream-like treat, or their parents who also like a quick snack, or pretty much anyone who wants to try one of about 15 different flavors and about a zillion toppings. No wonder kids love those super-trendy frozen yogurt shops.

Menchies Frozen Yogurt is offering 6 free ounces on Wednesday. The only catch is that you have to like them on Facebook to get the reward.

It’s a little unclear which day is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Yogurtland, which has three Seattle locations and six shops in King County overall, celebrated with free yogurt Monday. (Sorry for the late notice.) Pinkberry, another frozen yogurt chain that doesn’t have locations here, planned for giveaways on Feb. 5, and Menchies says the national day is Feb. 6.

If you want to skip all the big companies and go local, ZoeYogurt is a local operation with stores by Green Lake, Redmond and Newcastle, and they advertise as the only Seattle frozen yogurt shop to use completely compostable serveware.

There are other shops, too. We really don’t care where you go, just wanted to post about the free stuff.

And speaking of free stuff, here are loads of other free deals you can get on your birthday around Seattle:
